Vorrichtung zmz Positionieren mehrerer Lichtwelienleiter nebeneinanderDevice for positioning several optical fibers next to each other
Die Neuerung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Positionieren / \ mehrerer Lic&4we.lX-*-r?leiter mg nebeneinander mit zweiThe innovation concerns a device for positioning / \ several Lic&4we.lX-*-r?leiter mg next to each other with two s*?*:inande~ parallelen Formt acken von denen mindestens eines ein« Stufe aufweist, deren :>he nur minimal größer ist al«? ier Durclmo^er der Lichtwellenleitsr uiaI wobei in den durch die Stufe gebildeten Schlitz senkrsc? &ngr; zur Stufe ein Klemm-FormstiLck einschiebbar befestigt ist.two parallel mold pieces, at least one of which has a step whose height is only minimally larger than the diameter of the optical waveguide, with a clamping mold piece being fastened so as to be insertable into the slot formed by the step, perpendicular to the step.
Ausgehend von diiv em Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der Neuerung eine universell anwendbare Positioniervorrichtung &i zugeben.Based on the current state of the art, the aim of the innovation is to provide a universally applicable positioning device.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß eines der beiden Formstücke so mit dem anderen verbunden ist, {.) daß mindestens die dem anderen Formstück zugekehrte Fläche senkrecht oder quasisenkrecht zu den parallelen Ebenen verschiebbar ist.The solution to this problem is characterized in that one of the two shaped pieces is connected to the other in such a way that at least the surface facing the other shaped piece can be displaced perpendicularly or quasi-perpendicularly to the parallel planes.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Advantageous further developments are described in the subclaims.
Anhand der Figuren soll jetzt die Neuerung näher erläutert werden:The innovation will now be explained in more detail using the figures:
In Figur 1 ist die neuerungsgemäße Vorrichtung in stark vereinfachter Form dargestellt. Das Formstück 1 hat eine ebene Fläche. Das Formstück 2 hat dazu parallel zwei ebene Flächen die in Form einer Stufe 5 gegeneinander versetzt sind. In demIn Figure 1, the device according to the innovation is shown in a highly simplified form. The molded part 1 has a flat surface. The molded part 2 has two parallel flat surfaces that are offset from each other in the form of a step 5. In the

-Tih diesen Versatz sntstehenden Schlitz sind die Lichtwellenleiter 4 eingelegt, die durch das Klemm-Fonastück gehalten werden. Die parallele Führung wird sichergestellt durch die Nase 7 und die ganze verrichtung zusammengehalten durch eine Schraube 6. -The optical fibers 4 are inserted into the slot created by this offset and are held in place by the clamping piece. The parallel guidance is ensured by the nose 7 and the entire assembly is held together by a screw 6.
In Figur 2 ist dargestellt, wie zwischen den beiden Formstücken 1 und 2 neben dem durch die Stufe 5 gwüildetan \ Schlitz, in dem die Lichtwellenleiter 4 liegen, die federnde Anordnung 8, in diesem Beispiel eine gewellte Blattfeder angebracht ist.Figure 2 shows how the spring arrangement 8, in this example a corrugated leaf spring, is mounted between the two shaped pieces 1 and 2 next to the slot formed by the step 5 in which the optical waveguides 4 are located.
In Figur 3 ist die federnde Anordnung eine Tellerfeder 9.In Figure 3, the spring arrangement is a disc spring 9.
In Figur 4 hat das Formstück 1 eine Ausnehmung 10, in die ein elastischer Formkörper eingelegt ist. Auf diesem Formkörper liegen die Lichtleitfasern 4 auf und werden durch das Formstück 2 und das Klemm-Formstück festgehalten.In Figure 4, the molded piece 1 has a recess 10 into which an elastic molded body is inserted. The optical fibers 4 rest on this molded body and are held in place by the molded piece 2 and the clamping molded piece.
In Figur 5 ist eine neuerungsge^äBe Vorrichtung gezeigt, in der quer zur Bewegungsrichtung der beiden parallelen Ebenen ) der Formstücke zueinander eine Exzenterschraube 12 durch beide Formstücke 1 und 2 geführt ist. Durch Drehen dieser Ex&zgr;enterschraube werden die beiden Formstücke gegeneinander bewegt, vie durch die gestrichelte Darstellung und die eingezeichneten Maßpfeile angedeutet ist.Figure 5 shows an innovative device in which an eccentric screw 12 is guided through both molded pieces 1 and 2 transversely to the direction of movement of the two parallel planes ) of the molded pieces to each other. By turning this eccentric screw, the two molded pieces are moved against each other, as is indicated by the dashed representation and the dimension arrows.
In Figur 6 ist gezeichnet, wie das Formstück 2 auf der schiefen Ebene 13 aufliegt, die außerhalb der parallelen Flächen angebracht ist. Wie sich der Spalt zwischen den Formstücken 1 und 2 ändert, wenn das Formstück 2 auf der schiefen Ebene 13 verschoben wird, ist wieder durch die gestrichelte Darstellung und die eingezeichneten Maßpfeile verdeutlicht.Figure 6 shows how the shaped piece 2 rests on the inclined plane 13, which is attached outside the parallel surfaces. How the gap between the shaped pieces 1 and 2 changes when the shaped piece 2 is moved on the inclined plane 13 is again illustrated by the dashed line and the dimension arrows.

Schließlich ist in Figur 7 gezeigt, wie im Schnitt das Formstück mit Stufe aussieht, wenn die Stufe aus einer schiefen Ebene besteht, die um eine Achse (in der Figur strichpunktiert) gewickelt ist, wobei die Ebene senkrecht zur Achse ist. Die Drehbarkeit ist angedeutet durch den eingezeichneten ringförmigen Pfeil. Rechts ist der größte Abstand zwischen den Ebenen der beiden Formstücke, links der kleinste Abstand zu sehen. Durch Drehen des oberen Formstückes kann jetzt auf der rechten oder linken Seite jeder beliebige Abstand eingestellt werden.Finally, Figure 7 shows how the shaped piece with step looks in section when the step consists of an inclined plane that is wound around an axis (dotted line in the figure), with the plane being perpendicular to the axis. The ability to rotate is indicated by the ring-shaped arrow. The largest distance between the planes of the two shaped pieces can be seen on the right, and the smallest distance on the left. By rotating the upper shaped piece, any distance can now be set on the right or left side.
Mit Hilfe der hier vorgestellten Neuerung können bei Spleißverbindungen die Halterungen für mehrere Lichtwellenleiter schnell und präzise an die unterechiedlichen Abmessungen der Einzel- oder Bändchenfasern von verschiedenen Herstellern angepaßt werden.With the help of the innovation presented here, the holders for multiple optical fibers can be quickly and precisely adapted to the different dimensions of the single or ribbon fibers from different manufacturers in splice connections.
